Shifting view

Hey, I've changed the title of this blog!

Why? Because I'm going to shift its perspective a little. As all of you will know, I've (mostly) stopped blogging here in the past 4-6 months. Reason? Because much of what interests me now has no immediate link to "finance," and so "physics of finance" doesn't seem quite right. I'd like to eliminate this psychological barrier (for myself).

This blogexplores the potential for the transformation of economics and finance through the inspiration of physics and the other natural sciences. If traditional economics has emphasized self-regulation and market equilibrium, the new perspective emphasizes the myriad positive feed backs that often drive markets away from equilibrium and cause tumultuous crashes and other crises.
